Another more commonly accepted and widely understood cause of diabetes, both types, is genetics. The genetic history of geese does not include diabetes. In fact, the genetic make-up of geese is quite healthy and includes few genetic faults.

To encounter any true “cause” of diabetes in geese you can look to one place, one race, one location: France. The French enjoy goose liver, what’d you expect? They’re French. To this end they force-feed geese to enlarge their livers. This causes heart disease, obesity, and high cholesterol in the geese. Two of these are prime causes of diabetes. Furthermore, this can, on occasion, cause hypertension, another major cause. Unless the French cause the geese to become “Hispanic, black, Native American, or Asian” they can’t increase the geese’s odds of contracting diabetes any more. (Quick, put those racist fingers away, the list of races in the previous sentence is a direct quote from WebMD).
